this decision is not related to the recent problems I've had with my bike,(although it may have moved that decision up a few months), Overall, I’ve really enjoyed riding the Nomad, gonna miss that cruise control. But; I've been thinking about making a change to a completely different kind of riding for over 6 months and the right deal came along; so I pulled the trigger. I find I'm leaning more and more toward Adventure Touring rather than Cruiser Touring... because; when I get to the end of the pavement, I just want to keep on going!!... that's the reason in a nutshell.

Anyway, I've got some accessories that I took off my 09 Nomad prior to trading it in today... I've posted them over in the "for sale" area. I just wanted to put a note and link here in case any of you might be interested in any of them... enjoy the ride!! What ever you ride.

That’s all there is!... the bike was so well accessorized stock, that it didn't need much farkeling!!...

Best of luck to you all… rick

bye the way, the darkside tire had 18,000 miles on it at trade-in (23,000 miles on the bike)... I figure it has about another 10,000 miles to go... the stealer kinda raised his eyebrows when I told him what was on there... then he smiled and told me he plans to ride the Nomad himself for a while before he sells it... he said he's interested in trying it out to see how it rides...

Hey Ric, you're the man. I'll never forget you are the one that had the patients to tell me about and convinced me to try the dark side Thanks for all your help on this forum.We've had some rooten-tooten discussions haven't we? Your new scoot looks a little strange to me, but that's OK. You like ut and that's what counts. Do visit us again soon. Ride safe.

David;
some of the discussions have been spirited and heated!... but all in the interest of dispelling misconceptions by those who had not tried something that those of us that had tried it, knew was a good thing... hope your loving your DS tire... and thanks for being my friend on this forum... rick

Hey Silverspurs--I guess you paid a visit to Snake River Yamaha and they treated you well. That is a great dealership. I was in there often and that's where I bought my '06 900 Classic. Good folks there.

I was seriously tempted by that Super ten last year. I really couldn't have afforded it then, but if my wife had given the go ahead, I'd have figured out a way. I like the re-design of the front fairing area for 2013.

I suppose you will now become a loyal and frequent haunter of Happy Trails, eh what? That's a great place, too.

Now, when the weather warms up and the snow is all gone, pack that thing up, head down to Grandview and take a weekend tour over the Idaho Back Country Byway. Come out at Jordan Valley, then his Succor Creek Road and spend a night at Leslie Gorge (I think that's the name) and then blast up toward Homedale and back on into Boise. I did that a couple years ago on my VStrom. Great trip.
